Other Programs, Discounts & Benefits

Overview

As part of the Getty benefits package, you have access to a variety of additional programs that can help with work/life balance, save you money and provide important assistance with everyday needs.

The Getty also provides numerous employee discounts to help make certain purchases more affordable and convenient for you. Our discounts apply to a range of brand-name products and services. Whether you’re making a big ticket purchase or organizing a night out at the theater, chances are our program can make it more affordable.

Off Fridays and Holidays

Many departments at the Getty work an alternate schedule, with every other Friday off. The Getty also observes 11 paid holidays each year.

Please review the information posted in the Employee Staff Handbook for more details.

On-site Fitness Center

The Getty has a fully equipped, professionally managed onsite Fitness Center. Employees can work out on your own, have a personal training session with Fitness Center staff, or participate in a group fitness class, taught by Fitness Center staff and specialty instructors.

Employees who are Regular or Limited-Term Getty staff, regularly scheduled to work 20 or more hours per week, a Scholar, an Intern or a Trustee are eligible to join the Fitness Center. Membership is free. Fees for classes are posted on our Class Schedule, found on Getty Online (the Getty’s Intranet site).

There are Gold or Platinum memberships. Gold members have access to use the facility during staffed hours — Monday through Thursday, 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, and Fridays 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. Platinum membership — which requires a fitness assessment by Fitness Center staff and, if needed, medical consultation — offers 24/7 access. To join, submit the Participant Form to the Fitness Center. A Fitness Center staff member will schedule an orientation.

Staff Previews

Staff are invited to view select exhibitions before they are open to the public. These are usually at a time when the Museum is not open, so you can view the works of art with a smaller group of people.

Teleworking

The Getty supports work flexibility with a teleworking option, which allows some positions to work from home for a limited number of days. See the Employee Staff Handbook to see whether this may be an option for you.

Toastmasters
